Calling all Women of Strength!!!

A Strong Woman VS. A Woman Of Strength


A strong woman works out everyday to keep her body in shape…
But a woman of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything…
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the better of her…
But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
A woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face…
But a woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Thanks everyone for your positive thoughts!  I know I am lucky to even be in this situation but the thought of anything happening is just .... well it's unthinkable.  I think I am way more paranoid than someone who just got pregnant on their own!!  I'll let you know how my appt goes.  Not sure I will get an ultrasound...I think my obgyn has to book that.  Not sure!  

Mommyin09 - Thanks and yes I am looking forward to some answers.  I am sorry about your beta.  I know you didn't have your hopes up too high and I understand how you are feeling with it being ok and out of your control.  I started feeling like that towards the end and I actually think it helped because my stress level was a lot less.  Hope you have another low stress cycle...and congrats to dh!  Woo hoo!  No more working nights.  That is awesome!

Luvkayln - I agree with Mommyin09.  If you can get an u/s that would be great...what is going on in there!?!  And how exciting about the house!!!  And sooo cheap!  Toronto is a very expensive city.  We have a small house with a small yard and you would die knowing what we paid for it!  Oh good luck!!!

Mrspace - So sorry about the sad news in the family.  I wish them all the best.  And the ants in your office and your boss not doing anything?  That is unacceptable.  I hope you are able to talk some sense into him!!

Arlotheslug - I am sorry about Savanna.  I know it is a tough decision but at the end of the day it will be best for everyone.  That is really hard.  And baby showers are the worst.  Don't go.  Drop off a gift if you feel you need to but stay away.  It is not good for you.  BUT...great news about af!  I am so happy that you are back in the game and have new found hope!  This will happen for you you know!

Wishandprayer - All the best with the FET.  I'm glad you are feeling positive because you should be!  You have a great chance for your bfp!

Leighanne - Congrats on a great first check-up!  It sounds like you are doing really well.  I'm very happy for you and little Jaedyn.  More pics!!

Well, it's back to the drawing board for me & dh. My beta was negative. I'm really okay. I told Keyan I'm not sure what it is, but I just can't get upset. It's been too long & it's so out of my control. I just have to accept it & move forward. I'm sure feeling less stressed will be a benefit eventually ;) Thanks so much to everyone for pulling for me!!! We decided we'll try another natural cycle. If O happens to fall on a weekend, maybe we'll try iui. We'll see how it goes!
In the meantime, dh interviewed for a new position at work & he got the job! I'm so proud of him!!! His
schedule will be perfect & he won't be going back to
working nights. Yay for me ;-)

Mrspace: Looks like I glossed over a lot today. I'm
sorry about your grandfather. I will pray for him. Good
luck getting rid of the ants!

Luvkayln: Yes, the opk's are a good idea & you
should go in for an u/s just to see how things are
going. Gosh, the guesswork could drive you crazy!!!
Good luck with the house :)

Arlotheslug: I'm sorry about the baby shower ;( I can imagine how difficult that would be.

leighanne- No, we don't have ants at our house.  I'm at work.  I have ants at my office.  Which is why I'm mad at my boss.  He won't do anything about it. We're gonna have a little chat here soon (when he's done with his meetings).

mommyin09- Thanks, I'm excited about the house! :) I've been wanting to move forever, and I complained about it all the time! So I went out and bought things to improve our house, and now all of a sudden Sean says it's time to move! Figures... lol! :) Yeah, I knew the endometrium was still vaginal, but you convinced me of how much better it is! :) I'm sorry  you feel like AF is going to show! :( I really hope it doesn't show, but I know you will be ok if it does and just keep going! I've been having constant O pains today, so I was thinking of going out and buyiong opk's. Do you think I should?

arlotheslug- Oh my gosh, I'm so excited for you!!! :) That's awesome you get to start your clomid tomorrow, and are using donor sperm for your iui! Woo hoo!! This is gonna be it sweetie! I feel it! :) I'm so sorry about the baby shower! :( I get invited to them all the time, but I just tell them up front the reason why I can't go. That would be wayyy to hard for me! Especially if it was a shower for a little girl! :( Being the banquet coordinator at work, people have baby showers all the time at the winery and it's hard for me but I just put a smile on my face, and just make sure I'm not the one working the banquet! I'm sorry to hear about Savana! :( Gosh, you have had such a hard weekend, but hopefully thinhgs will start to look up soon! I know you're optimistic for this cycle, and we're just so happy for you!! I'm praying for you sweetie! You deserve a miracle, and you will get it!! You'll see! :)

Leighanne- That's awesome your appointment went so well! :) We're supposed to go look at the house tonight, so I'll let you all know how it goes! Although we'll only be able to see the outside tonight b/c the lady can't meet with us until Thursday or Friday, but that's ok. Houses are really cheap around here lately, which is good for us! :)

wishandaprayer- I'm also glad AF showed for you, and are looking forward to April when you get to do your FET!! :) That' s very exciting!!!

I'm having a lazy day at home right now. I have a meeting tonight at work, which will end right when Sean gets off and then we'll go look at the house. I just watched Little Women on tv, and I haven't watched that since I was young! I remember reading the book long before I ever saw the movie, and loved it! It brought back good memories! :)

Stacey: Looks like we were posting at the same time this morning. I'm so sorry about the spotting. I can imagine it's worrisome & I'm glad you'll have some answers tomorrow. Hang in there!!! :)

Luvkayln: That's sweet that you are thinking of getting a headstone for the little boy ;) Just FYI: the Endometrin is still a vaginal supp., but it's not refrigerated. I'm glad you're gonna ask your RE about them :)

Arlotheslug: I'm so sorry about Savana! I can imagine how you feel, but I'm sure you'll find her the perfect home & Alice will be at peace.

I feel like AF's gonna start. I won't have my beta results till later today,
but I did see pink cm when I used the restroom. So, I'll check in later!
